The Sydney Cup is one of New South Wales classic races. A welcomed boost in prize money has really seen the race go from strength to strength over the past couple of years and this rendition is no exception.<\/p>\n
Whoshotthebarman ($8)<\/strong><\/a> is probably the most seasoned and well credentialed two miler in Australia. He ran second in this race two years ago and has run some very respectable races in the last couple of Melbourne cups. An ever consistent racehorse over the staying trips, loves the wet and with the services of Blake Shinn who went ever so close in 2015, he should run well.<\/p>\n Tally ($13)<\/strong> <\/a>carried 59kg in winning the Mornington Cup and beat fellow Godolphin shortie in The Gold Trail that day. This is his first crack at 3200 though he gives every indication hell love the step up in trip. Has always ran in our cream middle distance to staying races and will give his all. Currently under his true odds though.<\/p>\n Big Duke ($2.50)<\/strong><\/a> comes into his first assignment at two miles off the back of two very strong Sydney victories. The first one being a win in the steward\u2019s room at Rosehill and the second being a very convincing win in the Chairman\u2019s last week at Randwick. The quick back isn\u2019t an issue and he gives every indication he\u2019ll power through the testing Randwick two miles. He looks very hard to beat but surely his under his true odds at $2.40. This field is far superior to the one he faced last week.<\/p>\n
